Trillions of dollars of goods and services crossed borders each year, made possible by a global, rules-based system. Nobody paid too much attention to supply chains: they just worked. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow we are in an era of trade conflict and can no longer avoid the fight. Trump's latest tariff announcement can jolt markets, push prices up, and sour decades-long alliances. China's export restrictions on rare earths could bring the West's car production to a halt. Curbs on trade in cutting-edge chips could determine who wins the AI race. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKeynes and Bown argue that the rules of the game have been abandoned, and a different strategy is needed. Yearning for the old approach to start working again isn't an option. Countries must adapt, which means learning from history, economics, and from each other--including China. The stakes couldn't be higher. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe authors explore the history, the players, and the rules of trade, and consider how we can prepare for what the future might hold.
